    Holiday mood from the first morning

    Put this on and you feel like you are on holiday, even if you are only heading to the shops. The bright stripes are cheerful and fresh, the full skirt swings as you walk, and the simple straps keep the look easy. Add flat tan sandals and a pair of gold hoops, and you are ready for the day. You feel sunny, pretty and happily carefree, and it shows in your smile.

    A cool open back and room to move

    The bodice sits neatly around the bust with a fitted band, while the open back lets the air in on a hot afternoon. From there, the skirt is gathered generously and falls loosely past the hips to the ankle, so nothing clings and your legs are free. It swishes and swirls as you turn, which is half the joy. The thin straps keep your shoulders bare and cool all day.

    Beach towns, garden parties and summer evenings

    Wear it on holiday for a stroll along the seafront, lunch in a beach café or dinner on a warm terrace. At home it is perfect for a garden party, a summer birthday or an afternoon at a festival. Flat sandals and a straw bag keep it relaxed; wedges and a clutch dress it up for the evening. Throw a denim jacket or a light shirt over your shoulders when the breeze cools.

    Your questions about this piece

    Which size should I choose?

    Use the size guide, which gives a bust and waist range for each size from S (UK 8) to XL (UK 14), plus the skirt length. The ranges are generous, so take your usual size; if you are between two, choose the larger one.

    Can I wear a bra with it?

    The open back and thin straps work best with a strapless or low-back bra. The fitted band bodice gives a neat shape on its own.

    How long does delivery take, and can I return it?

    Your order is prepared within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered in 8 to 15 days; costs and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket. You have 14 days from delivery to return it.

    Polished, comfortable, in UK sizes

    We choose pieces that look polished and feel comfortable from the first wear: boots for wet pavements, knits for chilly mornings, dresses for the days that matter.

    Sizes are given in UK measurements, payment is secure, and if something is not quite right, you have 14 days to send it back.
